I waited in line at the fountain valley fry’s.

43 here lol

It’s GDI propaganda!!! Weather storm machines exist

• NOD conspiracy believer probably

I watched it all go down too. I even read reason and thought it was reasonable. I would even use cato as a reference.

After the bail outs I was sick of the political status quo too so I started doing my own research and reading. That’s when I found the Libertarian party of US.

That year Gary Johnson was running and there was a lot of debate about open borders, pro-choice, and Just general libertarian ideology. So i soaked it all in.

Then I came across Oscar Wilde’s soul of man under socialism which really opened my eyes to post scarcity life. I was shocked to realize that capitalism wasn’t freedom at all. That we are all lied to think this is how it’s supposed to be. The word libertarian means something completely different elsewhere in the world.

That’s when everything that I thought was libertarian started to become what it is now, cesspool of hate.

I mean conservatives have always been masquerading as (L)ibertarians since 1971 here in the US.

Just a sign that they are easily manipulated

Actual libertarianism is open border like you know people who want to do business here have every right to, and for those “illegals” that commit crimes you have the guns.

Fake libertarianism think it should be controlled…. Wait, by what government? :facepalm: xenophobic much?

It feels like I’ve been here forever but I’ve only been a part of Lemmy for less than 18 months.

I was on twitter since 2007 and hardly posted shit (400 posts in almost 20 fucking years), but when I switched to mastodon I felt like I had been there forever. 400 posts in less than a year.

I am really glad to see the communities thriving.

Yea the issue is the employer doing it to make more profit instead of spreading the more profit they make to the workers. There is nothing wrong with self check out. There is something wrong with people being paid shit when the company is sending dividends to stockholders instead.

Everyone deserves respect.

Respect is in fact, not earned.

One loses respect due to their behavior.

This had nothing to do with what the union wants, the previous poster was asking if they have been doing it wrong

It’s their choice so there is no right or wrong

I am 43 and finally living my best life thanks to a cocktail of psych meds, therapy, and support from my spouse and kids.

I asked a CA Libertarian senate candidate where she stands on us left libertarians?

she said left libertarians don’t exist.

US is doomed.

The point is that the choice should be left with the customer and not the hotel.

Japan would probably still be isolated.

in 1853 US sent warships to force Japan to trade with the west.

Its imperial aspirations were fueled by western thought.

Username checks out

I get a boost in the afternoon.

I take 25 mg of adderall extended and I take a 7.5mg instant release at around 1pm and I am good to go until 8pm

And there is this….

Inaction is being complicit especially when it comes to fighting oppression.

Is your wife thinking about conquering her fears?

Tl;dr : I conquered my fears but it took the help of a therapist and psychiatrist.

I had severe anxiety of driving.

I really wanted to drive. Even though I had the license to drive, even though I knew for a fact i could drive, even though I really really wanted to drive, my nervous system would go into fight or flight mode once I started even thinking about driving. so I asked my mental health professionals about it.

I got beta blockers to slow my heart down and then I started desensitizing.

I can drive now.

What I think is that because they are incapable of empathetic thought, the message gets lost.

TNG’s Time’s Arrow, DS9’s Past Tense, VOY’s Life Line are all just made up stories to them. No human condition there.

My spouse works for compliance and usually you are given a chance to right everything before it goes as far as being audited. Like you said, mostly administrative issues is taken care at the first level and it’s no biggie.

So if someone is being audited something is already very wrong and the first level folks have sent the case to audits or even criminal investigations.
